N7778 - 177RG

Love my 1973 Cardinal RG. Found it in 2018 with good bones, low hours, and freshly overhauled engine. I treated it to new paint, new leather interior, and new avionics, new everything.

Is that when you first bought it, or are you able to keep it that clean? Do you get to fly it often?

When I first bought it:





It was stripped and painted, the interior was completely refurbished, and the avionics/electrical systems were completely modernized in the first two years after purchase. I only fly it 40 hours or so a year and I keep it maintained and clean, as shown.

The outside looks so nice, but the interior looks really clean and like new.

That is a nice looking plane. About how many air hours do you have it now?

Thanks Angie. The airframe has 2236 hours on it and the engine has 316 SMOH.
